And San Francisco's offense runs a bit different than ours. They like to use their wide receivers on short passes and run after the catch. And they like to stretch defenses horizontally. so I get that they're both his own blocking concepts but I don't think San Francisco's offense is that much like ours.
Also I believe Stafford was a top five QB in terms of rating under pressure. So we can't have games where he's pressured 10 plus times of course but Stafford does things that Jared can't so maybe defenses won't feel like they can stack the line and rush up the gut? Maybe Stafford being a more aggressive quarterback and being a little more capable of improvising in the pocket will cause defenses to bite and pay for it which might back them off.
Under pressure? I don't know of any that do--
consistently. Goff for example had some great games against as many as 16-20 pressures. Stafford's no different. He has been fine in some games under heavy pressure but never consistently.
The point about SF is just that it is one example of zone blocking team whose OL holds up. The 2 offenses do not have to be alike for that to be true--they just both have to be ZBS offenses. My point was just that no, you cannot say universally that OL in zone blocking schemes are always vulnerable to particular defensive fronts or strategies. There are way too many successful ZBS teams over the last few decades for that to be a safe generalization.
The key? My point is, unless they do some work on the OL, it does not matter what the running scheme is or who the qb is.
